CARNIOLAN QUEENS 



and 



CHAFF HIVES. 



I am breeding only one race of bees. I have 

 tested the Carmolans with the other races of bees 

 and find tlieni superior to all of them, in .some 

 particular. Tliey have all the good (jualities of 

 others, and do not have some of their bad trai s 

 They are much easier to handle, and, if lightly 

 nianagel (uiven plenty of room) they will not 

 swarm any moie tlian other races. They will 

 CHp their cjinb much nicer, breed earlier, and, 

 therefore, sloie mote hodey I grade out ail 

 poor queen cells, kill all small or imperfeit 

 queens before mating, and sell only the choice or 

 select, bred from the tjest honey gatherers and 

 comb builders. I am as careful about the drones 

 as about the breeding queens. 



One queen, Ji. 00; two, |i. 75; six, $4.50. 



1 also have a few new chaff hives for .sale very 

 cheap. Hives or queens iTi exchange for good, 

 white, comb honey.
